IRON  CRESTING  OR  ROOF  RAILING. 

Make  a diagram  of  the  roof,  allowing  about  3 inches  for  the  Cresting  to  set  in  from  edge,  and  give  all  the  measurements 
distinctly  upon  the  diagram.  If  a plan  of  the  roof  is  forwarded  giving  the  measurement  where  the  Cresting  is  to  set,  it  will 
be  cut,  fitted  and  painted,  ready  to  put  up,  at  the  following  prices.  Cresting  should  be  at  least  24  inches  high  to  look  well 
upon  any  ordinary  sized  building.  A finial  should  be  used  at  each  comer  or  angle. 

Cresting  should  be  set  about  3 inches  from  the  edge  of  the  roof,  and  in  sending  measure- 
ments, give  a sketch  of  roof,  making  this  reduction.  For  ridge  roofs,  the  charge  will  be  15  cents  per  lineal 
foot,  extra,  net,  if  the  feet  are  beveled  to  fit  the  ridge. 

All  Cresting  will  be  made  with  Flat  Feet  unless  otherwise  ordered.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  PUTTING  UP  CRESTING. 

Put  1 inch  blocks,  3 inches  square,  every  '3  or  3 feet  apart,  and  have  them  tinned  over  to  prevent  leaking;  then  nail  on  top  of  them 
1 inch  strips,  3 inches  wide,  and  set  the  Cresting  on  it.  If  there  is  a pitch  to  the  roof,  the  blocks  and  strips  can  be  beveled  off,  so  as  to 
make  it  level.  For  the  ridge,  a 3 inch  strip  can  be  nailed  down  and  the  Cresting  set  on  that,  this  is  the  way  it  is  generally  used;  or  the 
Cresting  can  be  made  with  pitch  feet,  to  go  either  side  of  the  ridge,  costing  15  cents  per  foot  extra.  All  ridges  should  be  finished 
off  with  the  top  strip  flattened  about  3 inches,  then  the  ordinary  Cresting  can  be  used.  Send  a Diagram  or  Plan  of  the  Roof,  and  we  will 
fit  cresting  and  paint  it  before  shipping,  and  number  each  section,  so  that  any  one  can  easily  set  it  in  position.  Screws  and  Bolts 

ARE  FURNISHED  AT  COST  AND  SHIPPED  WITH  THE  CRESTING.

COPPER  WEATHER  VANES. 

Gilded  with  pure  Gold  Leaf. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  PUTTING  UP  VANES. 

If  the  Cupola  is  finished  with  a wooden  post  or  finial,  there  should  be  an  iron  ring  fitted  on  to  the  upper  end  to  prevent 
splitting. 

Bore  a hole  ten  inches  deep,  % or  y2  of  an  inch  larger  than  the  spire,  then  bore  two  inches  deeper  the  same  size  of  the 
spire. 

For  large  Vanes,  bore  this  hole  sixteen  inches  deep,  or  % inch  larger  than  the  spire,  then  bore  two  inches  deeper  the 
same  size  of  the  spire. 

Set  in  the  spire,  and  drive  in  long  tapering  wooden  wedges  covered,  with  white  lead  or  plastic  cement,  plumbing  the 
spire  as  you  drive  the  wedges.  Put  on  the  large  Ball,  letting  it  rest  on  the  top  of  the  finial,  then  put  on  the  letters’,  setting 
the  letter  N to  the  north  by  .compass,  or  the  North  Star,  put  on  the  small  Ball,  and  then  the  Vane. 

NOTE — Do  not  handle  the  Gilded  parts  without  using  cotton  or  soft  tissue  paper  in  the  hand. 


Jt^“We  particularly  invite  comparison  of  our 
Copper  Vanes  with  those  of  any  other  manu- 
facturer in  this  country,  as  to  style,  designs 
and  prices.  The  price  of  each  Vane  includes 
iron  spire,  with  steel  spindle,  points  of  com- 
pass, gilded  letters  and'  balls.  Zinc  con- 
tracts and  expands  by  the  action  of  the  weath- 
er five  times  as  much  as  copper.  The  result 
will  be  that  the  Zinc  Vanes  will  crack  where 
the  zinc  and  copper  are  united,  and  soon  fall 
to  pieces.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  ORDERING  WIRE,  BANK 
AND  OFFICE  RAILING. 


I would  urgently  request  parties  who  favor  me  with  orders  for  RAILING  to  use  Care  in  making  their  measurements 
perfectly  accurate,  as  it  is  only  made  to  order  and  cannot  be  altered  without  considerable  expense  after  it  is  completed. 
If  convenient,  send  a rough  elevation  plan  of  the  railing,  or  simply  in  ordering  give  the  number  or  style  of  railing  wanted  and 
the  height,  and  send  a diagram,  drawing  a line  showing  the  grou  nd  plan  of  railing,  and  give  exact  measurements  where  the 


railing  is  to  go, and  state  which  side  is  the  inside  of  the  railing  or  inside  the  counter.  If  there  are  curves,  give 
the  exact  radius,  and  the  beginning  and  ending  of  the  points  of  the  curves,  or  send  a paper  pattern  cut  the  exact  shape  of 


curve.  If  cash  holes  are  required,  give  the  size  and  style  wanted,  whether  with  or  without  doors,  locks  and  glass  shelves; 
and  in  locating  them,  give  the  distance  from  the  end  of  the  railing  to  the  centre  of  the  cash  hole,  and  if  you  want  cash  hole  to 
set  on  the  counter ; if  not,  how  many  inches  from  the  counter  to  the  bottom  of  the  cash  hole.  Square  or  Ogee  shape  return 


ends  are  convenient  and  a protection  to  valuables  inside  the  railing.  In  ordering  these,  give  the  width  of  counter  or  length 
required.  If  gates  are  wanted  please  state  exact  location  and  size,  whether  single  or  double,  and  which  way  to  swing. 


Advise  if  any  portion  of  the  railing  is  to  stand  independent,  or  if  the  ends  can  be  fastened  to  the  wall,  and  whether  it  is  brick, 
wood  or  plaster.  By  observing  all  these  directions  there  will  be  no  delay  occasioned  in  writing  for  them,  and  I will  guaran- 


tee satisfaction  and  a perfect  fit  in  every  case. 

For  Wire  Office  Partitions  to  set  on  the  floor,  observe  the  same  rules  in  ordering  and  say. upon  which  side  of 

the  door  you  wish  the  key  hole,  and  state  which  way  it  should  swing.

PATENTED. 


PERFECTION  FEED  BOX. 
Highest  World’s  Fair  Award. 

What  is  Claimed. 

First— It  obliges  the  animal  to  eat  its  feed 
slowly,  because  it  has  to  work  to  get  its  feed. 
While  doing  this  it  is  masticating  what  it 
already  has  in  its  mouth,  consequently  no 
food  goes  to  its  stomach  not  properly  masti- 
cated. It  therefore  produces  better  results 
with  less  feed. 

Second— The  animal  cannot  plow  through 
it  and  waste  feed. 

Third— Being  of  metal,  it  will  not  sour,  and 
admits  of  feeding  any  kind  of  food. 

Fourth— With  all  of  these  advantages  it 
costs  little  more  than  any  other  metal  box.
